Subversion 1.2.3 fails during large add with: svn: '...../.svn' is not a directory
Has anyone seen this kind of error before?
Trying to add Xerces 2.7.0 downloaded from here [xml.apache.org] and
I get the following error when it gets about half way through the add
(around 2000 files of 4800 or so):
A xerces-c-src_2_7_0/doc/html/releases_plan.html
subversion/libsvn_wc/adm_files.c:837: (apr_err=20)
svn: 'xerces-c-src_2_7_0/doc/html/resources/.svn' is not a directory
Doing an svn status | wc -l shows that it added around 2200 files, of
the 4800 or so in total in the tree.
Steps to reproduce:
* Download xerces-c-current.tar.gz
* Unpack in your working directory:
tar xzvf /tmp/xerces-c-current.tar.gz
* Add to svn:
svn add xerces-c-src_2_7_0
This is on Mac OS X 10.4.2, running Subversion 1.2.3 that I
downloaded from Metissian.
svn, version 1.2.3 (r15833)
compiled Aug 27 2005, 06:13:54
Thanks for any insight!

Confirmed. The problem is that the xerces distribution contains a
*file* called ".svn" at doc/html/resources/.svn and Subversion can't
deal with that because it needs to create a *directory* called ".svn"
there. Delete the .svn file there before adding the xerces directory,
and tell the xerces folks not to put such silly files in their
distribution. :-)
